Julian,

Now your back on track forget that neocon stuff. Israel has the biggest cache of weapons in the middle east and enough 'nucular' weapons to destroy the entire middle east. Does anyone really think Iran really wants that. Yes they want nuclear weapons but India and Pakistan and Israel already have them. Were I Israel I would be far more concerned about Pakistan and Saudi Arabia (government sponsored terrorism and the wahhabis') and bin Laden, and far less concerned about Iran.

I know you probably get worried sometimes but please don't fall into the neocon mindset, just look what it did for Israel in the war against Lebanon (nothing gained, much lost). I almost always like your writing so I don't want to lose you to the neocon warped mindset. Remember war begets war and violence begets violence, give peace a chance.

I firmly believe that when Bush, the repubs, the neocons and the pope stop boiling the 'pot of war' the middle east will calm down and someday we will look back on all this that has been conjured up to keep the Repubs in political and for which many, many, many people have died and weep for what has been foisted on us all by a bunch of corrupt politicians who should be in jail for the rest of their lives.

Thanks for listening Julian and give peace a chance.
